BUT............... to be honest.. the highlight of my dinner arrangements was the cake the I baked.. which I stayed up until 1:00am the previous night to bake. AND.... the worst part is.. that I made SO much food (penne arrabiata for firsts, balsamic & rosemary chicken for seconds, grilled zucchini, roasted potatoes, steamed beans, mixed green salad as well as the rice dish that my sister brought).. that my parents were TOO stuffed to eat my cake! I was SOOO sad. Really. I was. haha. I know.. lame. BUt I was so proud of my cake and couldn't wait to unveil it to the world... err.. family.
Anyways, here are some fotos of my yummy cake. It was a red velvet cake, in case you're wondering what kind it was. But, I'm sure you can tell that when you see the inside of it.. ;D
I actually shaved all that white chocolate on top by hand. It was SUCH a pain in the ass... but so worth it. The cake was so delicious and I made it all from scratch. I've never made a red velvet cake before... but I've always wanted to because they look so amazing!! But I've never eaten one either... so, I have no idea what it's supposed to taste like. So, I hope it was good to others as well.
Yes, this blog was purely to brag about my mad baking skillz, y0. haha Kidding.
Recently, I've been catching up with old friends that I have not seen in a long time and I'm so happy about that. I'm so glad to have gotten a chance to see them and chat. It's been such a long while since I've spoken to them... and I realized how much I missed them and the times I had before.
I have very good feelings right now about life and things in general. I seem to be in a positive mood and place lately... and in high spirits. I'm not sure why... what's causing it.. or how long it will last... but I definitely welcome it with open arms. I've been on a rocky road for far too long and this little bit of calmness with a bit of sunshine is most appreciated. :)
Have a great night people... and HUG frequently!!! ^__^
much love,
~G .xoxo.
